Biko smuggled in his pet inaccuracies like Obasanjo imposed traditional rulers on Igbo village republicans in 1976. This was after the Igbo have willingly accepted to be part of the larger Nigerian republic in 1963.
He also wilfully distorted Obasanjo's point that those Igbo who were not born during the civil war seemed more embittered than those alive during the war, to mean that those Igbo were the most bitter set of Nigerians today. HE Obasanjo never made the latter claim.
Biko should know that HE Obasanjo is among the most incurable optimists about project Nigeria, in spite of adversities and should not expect him to subscribe to any referendum about the future of Nigeria.
